nzcarnerd Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Interesting looking car, the body style would suggest circa 1918-22 but the radiator looks to date from several years earlier. I wonder if it is something that has been rebodied. The radiator could be circa 1914 Fiat - the size would tie with the small Zero model - but unlikely with LHD. Also unusual is that the lights are mounted well forward of the radiator. Typically at that time smaller cars had lights up close - like Hupp, Dodge, Buick 4 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 REO ?Certainly the most unusual door handle I have ever seen. Looks like a hardware item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Paulsen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure it's an Overland. I'm not sure of the exact year-1916-17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30sclassics Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Here is a link to a photo of a 1917 Overland coupe owned by the Van Wert County (Ohio)Historical Society: Historical Society restoring antique car The VW independent Notice the removable door post. Overland had both a 4 and a 6 cylinder version. The mystery car is probably a 4, based on the hood length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunroofcord Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 You wouldn't believe how many on another forum said this was a Model "T". They must think everything in the '20's is a Model "T" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Since Ford was producing about half the autos built in this era, guessing Ford would be more likely than anything else! Maybe everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
